answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2020 answer text <p>The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) are the independent experts who provide advice to Government on which vaccine(s) the United Kingdom should use, and which groups to prioritise. The JCVI will consider each vaccine and provide their advice to the Government once detailed information on the characteristics and clinical properties of the approved vaccine becomes available.</p><p>The committee – in their interim advice - have advised that for Phase 1, the vaccine first be given to care home residents and staff, followed by people over 80 and health and social workers, then to the rest of the population in order of age and clinical risk factors in the initial phase. We will consider the Committee’s advice carefully as further data emerges in preparation for subsequent phases. Our vaccination programmes are led by the latest scientific evidence and we expect the Committee’s advice to develop as more evidence is gathered.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 24/11/2020 15:34:55 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

uin	115499
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2020 answer text <p>As the Government’s guidance makes clear, there are circumstances when people may be unable to wear a face covering. No one should be forced to wear a face covering if they are exempt or have a reasonable excuse for not doing so, nor should they be required to prove their exemption.</p><p>By law, a face covering must adequately cover the nose and mouth. A visor may be worn in addition to a face covering but not instead, as they do not adequately cover the nose and mouth.</p><p>A member of the public who is exempt or has a reasonable excuse not to wear a face covering has the discretion to wear a visor. However, as the evidence does not support the use of visors on their own as an effective way to prevent the spread of the virus, the Government does not recommend visors as an alternative to face coverings. The most important measures remain social distancing and good hand hygiene.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 24/11/2020 14:45:59 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill previous answer version 62795 answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
